Any additional DLC acquired can also be transferred by re-downloading it from the PlayStation Store.

Ragnarok Odyssey ACE is developed by Game Arts, creators of the Grandia and Lunar series, together with GungHo Online Entertainment in Japan. XSEED Games will release Ragnarok Odyssey ACE in North America on April 1, 2014. GungHo Online Entertainment America will publish the title in Europe.
